shoulder-straps of the brave country

Sheridan; but, on the other hand, the
martial array of nearly all the CONT

tight gray tunic and low, black leg
gings of the Croat grenadier have dis

Tailor Made Dresses.

lInllHuelpnlu heCOru'l
Whatever approaches the tailor dress in
general effect should be worn only on
strictly informal, out-of-door occasions
Those who follow closely the demands Of
fashion would not think OF appearing at
any formal gathering arrayed in one OF
them. Care should be taken, therefore,
that such suits are confined solely to the
street, the morning drives, or business oc-
casions.
For more dressy use the same fabrics may
be made up with various combination ma

rate, and the general effect, while 1t could
not be improved for the plain, handsomely
finished dress, is by far the more elegant;
yet the addition Off few folds or the differ
ent arrangement OF the draperles may make
an almost complete transformation in the
style OF the costume and render 1t appro-
pirate for the house or the many smaller
occasions where fine woolen suits are alto

THE VERDICT OF THEM ALL.
How the Slayer OF George Wertenbaker
VIII lie Punished.

Last night, at little after 0:30, tho jury
in the Wertenbaker case, which was tried
in Alexandria, went into court with their
verdict. The jury was composed OF the
following citizens: s. II. Lunt, Henry
Baader, Simon Blondheim, J. l.. Smith,
John Harlow, j. 7. Edelin, G. I. Price, w.
Javers, Thomas Lannon, Lewis Adams, 4.
l.. Brockett, and u. F. Penn.
There was more than little interest felt
In the case, and a large number OF persons
were present when Judge Meade toow his
seat on the bench. The verdict of the jury
was one Of acqu!ttal as far as concerned

the payment Of fine Of IS. The case
against William Kidwell was nolle pressed.
The verdict was received withe astonish.
ment by the assembled spectators and n
murmur of dissatisfaction was distinctly
audible all over the room. The Judge re-
ceived the verdict. much to the surprise OF
many, who felt confident that he would
refuse 1t. When the news spread around
town there was considerable indignation
expressed at the preposterously inadequate
number Of prominent citizens were not by
any means complimentary to the jury or
the jury's verdict.
In this city the verdict was regarded as
astonishing and quantity of strong
language was used In saying so.
"That's about what mans life Is worth
down there" was the remark of a lawyer
last night, 'tnat is, when he is killed by a
white man. II the murderer had happened
10 be a colored man he would have gone
up for twenty years. It's an outrageous
verdict" and then, as the reporter was leav.
ing, said: :"What's that 1--WE dollar fine for?'
but the scribe couldn't say and failed to
find anybody that could.
"If II had been common assault" said
another well known lawyer, himself a
Virginian, ''the prisoner could not have
gotten off more cheaply."

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS
Are Given Another Opportunity by Sec
retary whitney.

Secretary Whitney yesterday issued the
following circular letter to the steel manu-
facturers Of the United States;
The department has decided to postpone
until Sept. 20 the opening Of proposals for
the furnishing OF steel-cast guns for the
navy. This action is taken IN order TO give
more time to domestic manufacturers to
consider the matter.
The intention OF Congress in making the
appropriation was, doubtless, to enable OK
pertinent TO be made with steel-cast guns,
and II will be the desire OF the department
TO meet literally domestic manufacturers
Of steel guns who wish, In good faith. TO
submit to the department castings for the
purpose In view.
The act Of Congress has fixed the test TO
which the finished gun must be subjected.
| IL Is the same test as that which the guns
now being made by the department safely
| stand.
No gun finished by the department has
| failed thus far upon that test. IL Is not
| deemed severe, and is not supposed to rep
resent at all the limit OF extreme strength
nor the capacity OF the guns.
The specifications adopted by the depart
| mebt and referred to IN the advertisement
| will enable the manufacturer to have the
| benefit Of the experience OF the department
| In detecting imperfect material and such as
| would not give fair test OF the experiment.
1 II any objection is found to anything In the
| Specifications, or any matter therein is not
| thoroughly understood, IL Is desired that
| communication be freely had with the de-
| partment.

The stock market to day were the least In

was no news.beyond the reports Of rains In

tentlon. The opening was strong at ad-
vances over yesterdays figures, extending
to 4 per cent. Business was dull, but
nearly one.third OF the entire days bust
ness was transacted In tho first half hour.
| The market made further gains in the early
dealings, and New England was especially
| strong, but before noon most OF the early
advances had been lost. The dullness be-
come most oppressive after that time until

| In the last half hour, and the close was firm
though dull at fractional advances over
